Doctors have long relied on their own hands to detect breast lumps or any other signs that could possibly mean breast cancer. The problem of course, is that doctors are humans, and to err is human. There are the occasional errors and missed breast cancer signs, but this can also be true of breast cancer [...]
Soy has been bandied about as both a breast cancer fighter, and a good thing for women to eat to help ward off breast cancer for it’s natural phyto (plant based) nutrients, and as the bad guy, something that should be avoided by women, especially women who already have or have had breast cancer. Soy, [...]
It’s so funny, the power that the female breast, and female form in general has on men. Especially very sexually charged types of men, who you just know think about sex 24 hours a day, seven days a week! When ever you have your breasts on display a little more than usual, especially if you’re [...]
In an effort to perhaps explain the boom in plastic surgeries such as breast implants, nose jobs, liposuction and facial restructuring in general, there has been a lot of attention focused on the socioeconomic and happiness factors associated with the way one looks. Personal appearance has long been hailed as something that can help you [...]
It seems like everywhere you look now, just because Prince William and Kate Middleton are now getting married, you see their faces. It is allover the news now, whereas there was only the occasional news story or gossip item about this couple. Now Kate Middleton is undoubtedly under tons of pressure, her style being scrutinized, [...]
Boy am I happy that a lot of the foods I naturally hold dear and find delicious are actually foods that offer superior nutritional benefits as a defense against breast cancer. One of the foods that I really have grown to love which helps prevent breast cancer, and other forms of cancer as well, is [...]
I must say, it sometimes feels nice to be voluptuous, no matter how you got that way (I’m talking about whether you have breast implants, a breast implant alternative, or you were just born naturally boobalicious). It’s nice because it almost makes you feel like you don’t have to be a rail thin woman, but [...]
If you never heard of model Brooklyn Decker before, then you most certainly noticed the plethora of ads for a movie that starred her breasts as well as Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, called “Just Go With It”. How could you not notice those glorious orbs, bouncing up and down on the television, like Pamela [...]
I can tell you, my personal preference is to not wear underwire bras, although when I first started wearing bras and wanted to make my rather small breasts stand up and out a little more, I favored these types of bras because they seemed to give my breasts more shape and lift. But there have [...]
Suzanne Somers sure has come a long way since her days playing the airheaded but lovable part of the room mate triangle of Three’s Company. She became an instant sex symbol, and her blond good looks along with her long tan legs earned her a top spot in the poster girl for sexiness contest. Who [...]
Millions of women across the world use the birth control pill as their method of choice for preventing unwanted pregnancy. Whether a woman is in a relationship or not, she may never want to have children, or she may want to be the one to decide when the time is right to have or not [...]
There has been a body of research that has been released lately that definitely may cause some eyebrows to raise. Why? Well, because it’s very honest and blunt, and in my opinion, is probably also very valid. However, it seems to some that it may point the finger at the person who gets cancer as [...]
Lindsay Lohan has had quite the rocky public persona over the years as she grew up in front of the camera as well as in front of the paparazzi, first starting off as the fresh faced, innocent young actress in the Disney movies “The Parent Trap”, and then moving on to a more adult role [...]
I just love Jennifer Aniston. There is a reason this woman has been so successful. As a woman, you really feel like she’s the type of girl you could sit down and talk and joke with – she seems really accessible and down to earth for all her fame and fortune, and that’s something that [...]
LeAnn Rimes certainly has been making the news a lot lately, and not exactly for her talents as a singer – which is unfortunate, but hey you know what sells in the tabloids! She’s been involved in a “scandal” after getting involved with a then-married man while filming a made for TV movie with him. [...]
When it comes to maximizing sexy cleavage, there are a few types of bras you may want to consider when making the choice for one that pushes everything up and together. First off, an done that woman often pick as a bra to help maximize cleavage and the push up appeal is the demi (half [...]
A lot of people are up in arms about the new TSA full body scan, which shows everything on you, or a very good representation of what you look like with no clothes on. An agent can tell pretty much what kind of breasts you have by looking at the scan screen. Some people are [...]
When it comes to surviving breast cancer, which becomes deadly after it reaches a certain stage, and is much more treatable when it is caught early on, it seems that one’s mental state may be key to surviving this disease. It may be the difference between permanent remission and recurrence, and life and death, so [...]
Well, anyone who pays any attention whatsoever to the gossip columns probably heard a little while ago that reality star and plastic surgery addict Heidi Montag was having regrets about her 10 (or more) plastic surgeries, all performed in one day on her poor body. And what is the reason for her regret? It’s mostly [...]
Well, it looks like we have yet one of the most trashiest reality shows ever. It’s a new show that’s already being skewered as totally shallow and useless, but of course it will probably get ratings because that’s what a lot of people like to watch. The new reality shows has brides-to-be competing for prizes [...]
When it comes to bras, I’ll be totally honest, I’m a hippie at heart. I hate to wear a bra. If it were not such a social taboo to go around without one all of the time, I’d be totally doing it. I can’t stand anything about bras. I rip them off when I come [...]
Well, it’s officially that time of year. The time when almost all retailers try to cash in the last of their year’s inventory and put on the best sales of the year, post-Christmas. And what a banner year it was, by most estimates thus far, for Christmas shopping. This could fare very well for the [...]
Christina Aguilera has been in the news a lot lately. One, because the hyper-talented singer has just divorced her husband, and two, because she is starring in a movie called Burlesque, with another legend in the singing world, Cher. Christina, who has been talented since a very young age, and has always known she was [...]
A bone building drug that was thought to perhaps prevent breast cancer recurrence in breast cancer patients, and to potentially even help those that never had breast cancer to not get it, has recently been tested clinically in trials to see if it really offers benefit. The benefits tested were for two groups apparently, for [...]
SO Many women are still confused about what is right for them when it comes to deciding when they should start getting mammograms. Even women in their thirties sometimes are being encouraged to start getting yearly mammographies by their doctors because they have indicated they have a family history of the disease. But there are [...]
Sometimes when you read so many conflicting studies, it can be really difficult to know what to believe. In the end, you have to listen to your own intuition and experience. How does eating a certain food or drinking a certain drink, or taking a certain supplement make you feel? Do you get sick often [...]
While everyone knows that eating a lot of dark, leafy greens in the diet is essential to good health, we also have heard a lot of whispers – well, lately – more like shouts – about the health benefits of pure, organic olive oil. Why is olive oil so healthy for you when it is [...]
One well-established fact in the world of cancer prevention overall is increased exercise leads to lower rates of most types of cancer. This is due to a number of factors. Exercise is not only excellent and necessary for everyone’s health, it is also a powerful anti cancer agent because of these many health benefits. Not [...]
I recently got an email, not sure if it was just an advertisement or if they were writing me so I would write about their product called Belle Vie, since all it had was the name of the product in the header and a picture of the product in the body of the email. At [...]
Christina Applegate famously was diagnosed at a very early stage of breast cancer. And God bless her, ever since then, she has become a warrior crusader for women to get screened and take care of themselves to help prevent breast cancer ever since then. Recently, she says that she firmly believes that having the MRI [...]
I read an article recently that, while intriguing, seemed incomplete to me. It referenced how two groups of women were studied and it was found that when tested, the women’s DNA who had reported taking multivitamin supplements and calcium supplements demonstrated a much better capability to repair it’s damage. This translates into not only a [...]
Every reality show has girls with real and fake boobs, it’s almost a given these days, let’s face it. Survivor is definitely no exception. Survivor goes for ratings with some of the beauties it casts, and they usually have to be natural beauties, because they go weeks and weeks without a hair dryer, face soap, [...]
Demi Moore, as just about anyone with the most untrained eye can tell, definitely had breast implant surgery done in the nineties when she suddenly showed up in movies with a noticeably larger chest. When looking at older, younger pictures of the stunning beauty who seems to never age, you can tell that she was [...]
Well, now I thought I’d seen everything, but this takes the cake as a very novel idea. Although I’m not exactly sure this would catch on unless you were living in a potential nuclear war zone, or if you were paranoid about noxious gases being released or something like that, hmmm….. A female doctor has [...]
It’s startling when you hear the figures of how many women reported having problems having sex, or expressed having definite dips in their pleasure and joy of having sex, after they were treated for invasive breast cancer. The number is around 70%, according to one study that looked at women who had invasive breast cancer [...]
Well, to toss another aspect of confusion into the whole mammogram “are they really effective and useful or not” question that’s been circulating amongst women and health care professionals for a few years, there is yet another study that questions how effective this method is at early detection and preventing breast cancer deaths. While most [...]
The breast cancer drug Avastin, while it showed promise after an accelerated approval by the FDA back in 2008 due to promising cancer halting results when paired with a chemotherapy drug (unfortunately – you can tell, I’m not too sure personally about chemotherapy, it almost does more harm than good sometimes), has actually just gone [...]
Miachaele Salahi, the other half to her husband Tareq, the couple who caused quite a stir when they crashed a White House party not too long ago, and are now causing more waves with their public appearances, interviews, and their presence on one of the Housewives reality shows, has come out and said she has [...]
I’ve been on the birth control pill now for many years, only taking brief breaks, only to go back on it when my periods became erratic again and my face broke out mercilessly since I have a problem with acne occasionally. I wanted to see what life was like without being on synthetic hormones, and [...]
Sheryl Crow, the talented singer who’s had a great career in the entertainment industry pretty much since I started college, has notoriously battled, and won, the breast cancer battle. She is one of the higher profile celebrities who has battled this dreadful disease, and thankfully, she has emerged from it stronger and healthier than before. [...]
You know me, I always talk about my favorite reality show, Big Brother. I’ve been watching it since season three, thank to my (now) husband who got me hooked on the show when we met. All this, even though I had never dreamed I’d ever be one of those people who got hopelessly hooked on [...]
